Vale has announced MASSIVE price increases for both OLED Steam Deck models worldwide; however, as always, Australians will see the biggest price increases.

Here are the price differences for both models:

  • OLED 256GB Mode: No Increase
  • OLED 512GB Model: $899 > $1,119
  • OLED 1TB Model: $1,049 > $1,429

Steam has said in a post that the price increases are because “Steam Deck itself hasn’t changed; these new prices reflect the current state of component costs and other global logistical challenges across the industry as a whole.

How do you feel about the price increase? Will you be rushing out to grab one before the price increases, or will you be looking into a second-hand unit? Let me know in the comments section below.
